      We have configured Hudson security to disallow anonymous access and set read
      access for authenticated users. I noticed though that the Windows slave we have
      registered can no longer launch. In the slave log we see:

      Failing to obtain http://HUDSON.xxxx.com/computer/XXXXXXXX/slave-agent.jnlp
      java.io.IOException: Failed to load
      http://HUDSON.xxxx.com/computer/XXXXXXXX/slave-agent.jnlp: 403 Forbidden

      at hudson.remoting.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:154)
      Waiting 10 seconds before retry

      I noticed that I can still successfully launch my *nix slave that execute a wget
      -O slave.jar http://HUDSON.xxxx.com/jnlpJars/slave.jar. This path must not be
      protected in the Hudson config while the /computer path is.
